After a man and a woman have slept with each other, the relationship begins to become delicate. Not only will this change in the heart, but also the way we look at each other will be different.

Shuichi Kudo, who got off work the next night, appeared at the proprietress as usual at the small bar. He habitually sat down at the bar.

The proprietress looked at him with a smile and said, "What to drink?" ”

Kudo Shuichi also smiled and said, "You can watch it and give it to me!" ”

The proprietress said casually, "How about opening a bottle of Karuizawa 12-year-old single malt whisky?" My sake costs 50,000 yen. ”

Shuichi Kudo couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It's really a little place in the countryside. The people here are like frogs at the bottom of a well, and they have never seen much of the world.

Kudo Shuichi said without saying a word: "If you want to open it for me, you can open it." ”

The proprietress really didn't expect the other party to agree so happily. Even though she hesitated, she didn't intend to ask any more. She didn't rush to give Kudo Shuichi a drink, but first put a platter of five snacks in front of him.

Later, she opened a new bottle of Karuizawa 12-year-old single malt whisky. Whisky like this one is placed in your own shop, which is more of a decoration and decoration.

At the end of the year, few people dare to open the whole bottle. She could count it on her hand alone, after all, the price of 50,000 yen was there. This is not something that everyone can consume.

After all, the average Japanese salaryman generally only has about 30,000 yen per month. Even this money also includes men's money for alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, and even lunch.

If you are a single man, you can not be constrained by this one, and you can completely earn as much as you want and how much you spend. Even if you spend ahead of time, you can do it.

However, for an ordinary Japanese man who is married, especially if he has to raise children, he can still have 30,000 yen of pocket money per month, which is already very good.

What's more, the current state of the local economy in Wakayama City is not bad, and it is definitely not good, but it is average. The average monthly pocket money for local men is less than 30,000 yen.

Besides, for most men, it is better to spend 50,000 yen to open a bottle of wine here, and it is better to go directly to a favorite custom lady to enjoy this time, and it is only 10,000 yen. Fifty thousand yen, that's enough for five times.

Kudo Shu kept saying, "Don't just pour it for me, pour a glass too." ”

The proprietress smiled at him and said, "I still have to work!" ”

Kudo Shu kept going straight and said, "Drink less, it's okay." ”

The proprietress took out another empty glass of whiskey and poured 50 milliliters into it, a shot of water. In addition to that, she added some soda to it.

The proprietress said calmly: "I remember the first time you came to me, it was a middle-aged uncle who brought you here. He should be your colleague and senior. ”

Shuichi Kudo smiled slightly, "Your memory is so good." As the saying goes, Lori loves uncles. However, in these years, only rich middle-aged men can be called uncles, while middle-aged men without money can only be called big brothers. ”

The proprietress did not deny his statement: "Although money is not everything, it is impossible to have money." ”

Shuichi Kudo asked with interest, "Now, you can tell me, how old are you?" ”

The proprietress neither refused, nor did she say explicitly, "Stretch out one of your hands." ”

With a smile on his face, Shuichi Kudo did exactly what she said. He held out his left hand towards the other man.

At the same time, the proprietress stretched out her right index finger and gently wrote an Arabic numeral of 21 in the palm of his left hand.

The proprietress smiled sweetly: "Now, you should know." ”

Kudo Shu nodded and said, "It's similar to what I guessed." ”

The proprietress also slapped his left palm a little harder and said, "There are a lot of fancy intestines in Tokyo." ”

Shuichi Kudo retorted, "I'm not from Tokyo. To tell you the truth, my mother is from Wakayama. ”

The proprietress opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Really, or is it fake?" ”

As soon as Kudo Shuyi picked up the whiskey glass, he tilted his head and took a sip and said, "Lie to you as a puppy." ”

The proprietress believed him and said, "You came here from Tokyo to work because of your mother!" ”

Shuichi Kudo said calmly: "That's right. It would be great if my mother's hometown was in Yokohama City. ”

The proprietress frowned and said, "Speaking of which, in your heart, you still don't like it here." ”

Shuichi Kudo winked at her and said, "Although I don't like this place in my heart, I like a woman here." ”

The proprietress blurted out: "Flim Tongue." After a few years in Tokyo, will this person become like you? ”

Shuichi Kudo said truthfully, "Tokyo is like a big dye vat. No matter where you come from, if you live there for a long time, you will inevitably be affected.

Once you get used to that lifestyle in Tokyo, you'll love it. If you are asked to leave and start somewhere else, you will not be able to give up. As a result, many people return to Tokyo even if they leave Tokyo temporarily.

They just fell in love with the glitz and glamour of Tokyo. From time to time, you will hear stories about someone who spends a lot of money or becomes rich overnight.

Even if they don't have anything to do with them, it won't prevent them from listening to others bragging or bragging about themselves in a small izakaya. ”

The proprietress said with a serious face, "I've heard many people say that life in Tokyo is very stressful. ”

Shuichi Kudo didn't say anything and laughed: "It also has to be different from person to person." For the general public who work hard in Beijing, that is a certainty.

In Tokyo's 23 wards, renting a decent apartment costs about 80,000 yen a month. There are other costs to this.

For a person's normal life in Tokyo, the monthly expenses are not 200,000 yen, but 1670,000 yen.

Whether they are forced to be helpless, or deliberately to save money, poor housing, or poor food, there are many people in Tokyo. ”

The proprietress sighed, "Hearing you say that, Tokyo is not all good!" ”

Kudo Shuichi said slowly: "You can still have a family business to inherit here." Lots of people don't even have you like that.

I've heard people say that there is a place in Shinjuku Ward where many young people from all over Japan gather every night with bags and suitcases on their backs.

They had nothing to do and no idea where to go. According to their words, fear of loneliness. Or rather, they are all fallen people at the end of the world. ”
